Shoe Lasts

[xlr8tn]

I am interested in learning how to make a pair of shoes. I first need to get a shoe last but do not have any information on where to find this sort of thing. Anyone have a contact on where to purchase one. Does anyone have a good link to patterns and books on making a shoes or boots?

thanks,

Brent

ebay has lots of them. I have picked up many at auctions, never know where you will find them, lot of people don't know what they are.

I've wanted to make shoes before, too. Here are some links to sites I've seen and come across in the past. Does anyone know of any other links to information on shoemaking?

For shoe lasts check out www.walrusshoe.com. I too want to make shoes and from another forum I found that site. I have not ordered anything yet, but I would really like to try making a pair of shoes. It looks incredibly interesting. There is a guy on youtube that has a username MarcelHun. He has done several videos of how he makes shoes. He is a bespoke shoe maker in Hungary.
